Inga Drozdova's centerfold (November 1997) is the third iteration. Since Inga is from the former Soviet Union, it's only fitting that the "Do Not Disturb" sign this time around is in Russian. In this case I'm not sure you can say the third time's a charm. One part that rings clear and true is Inga's expression. Very inviting, with no hint of boredom or uncertainty. It's a good update on Marlene Callahan's original. Where we get into trouble is with Inga's pose. It's not very flattering to her breasts, but neither is it particularly insulting. The worst part of the pose is from the waist down. We've got the "Gotta go potty" look that was the bane of the nineties. We also see a great deal of tension in Inga's right leg. We see the muscle structure, but it destroys the curves in Inga's leg. The last thing wrong is a personal complaint: I've never cared for the old-style men's garters as a male fashion statement, and I like them even less on women. (A three-piece suit is another story).
